Regulatory systems for the robust control of engineered genetic programs
… function. In this thesis, we describe two regulatory systems in Escherichia coli that could serve to separate synthetic genetic programs from their host context, potentially leading to more robust activity. First, we build a 'resource allocator' by fragmenting T7 RNA polymerase variants …

An empirical study of the effects of regulatory systems on the collection of late payment of commercial debts owed to micro and small businesses in the UK
Trust is the foundation of trade credit. Failure to pay on time affects the supplier’s business, causing stress and potential bankruptcy. Small businesses employ formal (solicitors, debt collectors, statutory demands) and informal (discounts, extended payment terms, violence) techniques to enforce …
